Suspect In Attempted Purse Snatching Now Charged In Robbery Spree

Anne Arundel County Police have charged a Prince George's County man with four separate robberies of businesses in the county that occurred within a few days in November.

Edmond Jarrod Riggs, 35, had been behind bars since November 19, when he was arrested for the attempted robbery of a woman in a parking lot near the Baltimore Washington Medical Center. That robbery occurred on November 9.

Detectives investigating three incidents that occurred on the night November 10 linked Riggs to all three crimes. Riggs is charged with the robbery of the Pizza Bolis in the 300-block of Crain Highway in Glen Burnie; the robbery of the Wings and Things in the 7800-block of Quarterfield Road in Glen Burnie; and the attempted robbery of the Food Lion in the 100-block of North Crain Highway.

Detectives have also linked Riggs to the November 15, armed robbery of a BP station in the 8600-block of Veterans Highway in Millersville.

Riggs faces 35 separate charges of robbery, attempted robbery, assault and handgun violations. He is being held without bail.

“These cases highlight the importance of keen awareness by patrol officers along with excellent follow-up investigation by robbery detectives,” said Anne Arundel County Police Chief Kevin Davis in a news release. “While our county experienced a drop in crime in many areas last year, this suspect was a one man crime wave in Anne Arundel County, who fortunately is now off the streets.”
